Rivalry
History
Bernabéu (before renovation), the home of Real Madrid, before El Clásico.Camp Nou (before renovation), the home of FC Barcelona, before El Clásico. The fans of Barcelona are creating a mosaic of theCatalan flag.
The conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long surpassed the sporting dimension,[14][15] so much that elections to the clubs' presidencies have been strongly politicized.[16]Phil Ball, the author ofMorbo: The Story of Spanish Football, says about the match, "they hate each other with an intensity that can truly shock the outsider".[17]
As early as the 1930s, Barcelona "had developed a reputation as a symbol of Catalan identity, opposed to the centralising tendencies of Madrid".[18][19] In 1936, whenFrancisco Franco started thecoup d'état against the democraticSecond Spanish Republic, the president of Barcelona,Josep Sunyol, member of theRepublican Left of Catalonia and Deputy toThe Cortes, was arrested and executed without trial by Franco's troops[16] (Sunyol was exercising his political activities, visiting Republican troops north of Madrid).[18] During the dictatorships ofMiguel Primo de Rivera and especiallyFrancisco Franco, all regional languages and identities in Spain were frowned upon and restrained. As such, most citizens of Barcelona were in strong opposition to the fascist-like regime.[20] In this period, Barcelona gained their mottoMés que un club (English: More than a club) because of its alleged connection toCatalan nationalist as well as toprogressive beliefs.[21]
There is an ongoing controversy as to what extent Franco's rule (1939–75) influenced the activities and on-pitch results of both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most historians agree that Franco did not have a preferred football team, but his Spanish nationalist beliefs led him to associate himself with the establishment teams, such asAtlético Aviación andMadrid FC (which recovered itsroyal name after the fall of the Republic). On the other hand, he also wanted the renamedCF Barcelona to succeed as a "Spanish team" rather than a Catalan one.[22][23] During the early years of Franco's rule, Real Madrid were not particularly successful, winning twoCopa del Generalísimo titles and aCopa Eva Duarte; Barcelona claimed threeleague titles, one Copa del Generalísimo and one Copa Eva Duarte. During that period, Atlético Aviación were believed to be the preferred team over Real Madrid. Events of the period include Real Madrid's11–1 home win against Barcelona in theCopa del Generalísimo, where the Catalan team alleged intimidation, and the controversial transfer ofAlfredo Di Stéfano to Real Madrid despite his agreement with Barcelona.[24] The latter transfer was part of Real Madrid chairmanSantiago Bernabéu's "revolution" that ushered in the era of unprecedented dominance. Bernabéu, himself a veteran of the Civil War who fought forFranco's forces, saw Real Madrid on top not only of Spanish but also European football, helping create theEuropean Cup, the first true competition for Europe's best club sides. His vision was fulfilled when Real Madrid not only started winning consecutive league titles but also won the first five editions of the European Cup in the 1950s.[25] These events had a profound impact on Spanish football and influenced Franco's attitude. According to historians, during this time he realized the importance of Real Madrid for his regime's international image, and the club became his preferred team until his death.[26]Fernando Maria Castiella, who served asMinister of Foreign Affairs under Franco from 1957 until 1969, noted that "[Real Madrid] is the best embassy we have ever had." Franco died in 1975, and theSpanish transition to democracy soon followed. Under his rule,Real Madrid had won 14 league titles, 6 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 1 Copa Eva Duarte, 6 European Cups, 2Latin Cups and 1Intercontinental Cup. In the same period,Barcelona had won 8 league titles, 9 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 3 Copa Eva Duarte titles, 3Inter-Cities Fairs Cups, and 2 Latin Cups.[22][23]
The image for both clubs was further affected by the creation ofultras groups, some of which becamehooligans. In 1980, Ultras Sur was founded as a far-right-leaning Real Madrid ultras group, followed in 1981 by the foundation of the – initially left-leaning, and later on far-right – Barcelona ultras groupBoixos Nois. Both groups became known for their violent acts,[16][27][28] and one of the most conflictive factions of Barcelona supporters, theCasuals, became a full-fledged criminal organisation.[29]
For many people, Barcelona is still considered "therebellious club", or the alternative pole to "Real Madrid'sconservatism".[30][31] According to polls released by CIS (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas), Real Madrid is the favorite team of the most Spanish residents, while Barcelona stands in second position. In Catalonia, forces of all the political spectrum are overwhelmingly in favour of Barcelona. Nevertheless, the support of the blaugrana club (Barcelona) goes far beyond from that region, earning its best results among young people, sustainers of a federal structure of Spain and citizens withleft-wing ideology, in contrast with Real Madrid fans which politically tend to adoptright-wing views.[32][33]
Cover ofMarca newspaper titled "an extraordinary match of Real Madrid" to describe the 11–1 win over Barcelona.
On 13 June 1943, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 11–1 at theChamartín in the second leg of theCopa del Generalísimo semi-finals (the Copa del Presidente de la República[34] having been renamed in honour ofGeneral Franco).[35] The first leg, played at theLes Corts in Catalonia, had ended with Barcelona winning 3–0. Madrid complained about all the three goals that referee Fombona Fernández had allowed for Barcelona,[36] with the home supporters also whistling Madrid throughout, whom they accused of employing roughhouse tactics, and Fombona for allowing them to. Barça'sJosep Escolà was stretchered off in the first half with José María Querejeta's stud marks in his stomach. A campaign began in Madrid. The newspaperYa reported the whistling as a "clear intention to attack the representatives of Spain."[37] Barcelona player Josep Valle recalled: "The press officer at the DND and ABC newspaper wrote all sorts of scurrilous lies, really terrible things, winding up the Madrid fans like never before". Former Real Madrid goalkeeperEduardo Teus, who admitted that Madrid had "above all played hard", wrote in a newspaper: "the ground itself made Madrid concede two of the three goals, goals that were totally unfair".[38]
Barcelona fans were banned from traveling to Madrid. Real Madrid released a statement after the match which former club presidentRamón Mendoza explained, "The message got through that those fans who wanted to could go to El Club bar on Calle de la Victoria where Madrid's social center was. There, they were given a whistle. Others had whistles handed to them with their tickets." The day of the second leg, the Barcelona team were insulted and stones were thrown at their bus as soon as they left their hotel. Barcelona's strikerMariano Gonzalvo said of the incident, "Five minutes before the game had started, our penalty area was already full of coins." Barcelona goalkeeperLluis Miró rarely approached his line—when he did, he was armed with stones. AsFrancisco Calvet told the story, "They were shouting:Reds! Separatists!... a bottle just missed Sospedra that would have killed him if it had hit him. It was all set up."[39]
Real Madrid went 2–0 up within half an hour. The third goal brought with it a sending off for Barcelona's Benito García after he made what Calvet claimed was a "completely normal tackle". Madrid'sJosé Llopis Corona recalled, "At which point, they got a bit demoralized," while Ángel Mur countered, "at which point, we thought: 'go on then, score as many as you want'." Madrid scored in minutes 31', 33', 35', 39', 43' and 44', as well as two goals ruled out for offside, made it 8–0.Juan Samaranch wrote: "In that atmosphere and with a referee who wanted to avoid any complications, it was humanly impossible to play... If the azulgranas had played badly, really badly, the scoreboard would still not have reached that astronomical figure. The point is that they did not play at all."[40] Both clubs were fined 2,500 pesetas by theRoyal Spanish Football Federation and, although Barcelona appealed, it made no difference. Piñeyro resigned in protest, complaining of "a campaign that the press has run against Barcelona for a week and which culminated in the shameful day at Chamartín".[41][42]
The match report in the newspaperLa Prensa described Barcelona's only goal as a "reminder that there was a team there who knew how to play football and that if they did not do so that afternoon, it was not exactly their fault".[43] Another newspaper called the scoreline "as absurd as it was abnormal".[36] According to football writerSid Lowe, "There have been relatively few mentions of the game [since] and it is not a result that has been particularly celebrated in Madrid. Indeed, the 11–1 occupies a far more prominent place in Barcelona's history. This was the game that first formed the identification of Madrid as the team of the dictatorship and Barcelona as its victims."[36] Fernando Argila, Barcelona's reserve goalkeeper from the game, said, "There was no rivalry. Not, at least, until that game."[44]
Di Stéfano transfer
Alfredo Di Stéfano's controversial 1953 transfer to Real Madrid instead of Barcelona intensified the rivalry.
The rivalry was intensified during the 1950s when the clubs disputed the signing of Argentine forward Alfredo Di Stéfano. Di Stéfano had impressed both Barcelona and Real Madrid while playing forLos Millonarios inBogotá, Colombia, during a players' strike in his native Argentina. Soon after Millonarios' return to Colombia, Barcelona directors visited Buenos Aires and agreed with River Plate, the last FIFA-affiliated team to have held Di Stéfano's rights, for his transfer in 1954 for the equivalent of 150 million Italian lira ($200,000 according to other sources[specify]). This started a battle between the two Spanish rivals for his rights.[45] FIFA appointed Armando Muñoz Calero, former president of the Spanish Football Federation, as mediator. Calero decided to let Di Stéfano play the 1953–54 and 1955–56 seasons in Madrid, and the 1954–55 and 1956–57 seasons in Barcelona.[46][24] The agreement was approved by the Football Association and their respective clubs. Although the Catalans agreed, the decision created discontent among various Blaugrana members and the president was forced to resign in September 1953. Barcelona sold Madrid their half-share, and Di Stéfano moved toLos Blancos, signing a four-year contract. Real paid 5.5 million Spanish pesetas for the transfer, plus a 1.3 million bonus for the purchase,[failed verification] an annual fee to be paid to Millonarios, and a 16,000 salary for Di Stéfano with a bonus double that of his teammates, for a total of 40% of the annual revenue of the Madrid club.[24]
Di Stéfano became integral in the subsequent success achieved by Real Madrid, scoring twice in his first game against Barcelona. With him, Madrid won the first five editions of theEuropean Cup.[47] The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when Real Madrid and Barcelona met twice in the European Cup, with Madrid triumphing en route to their fifth consecutive title in1959–60 and Barcelona prevailing en route to losing the final in1960–61.
Final of the bottles
On 11 July 1968, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 1–0 in theCopa del Generalísimo final at theSantiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid fans, angry about the refereeing, started throwing bottles at the referee and Barcelona players in the last minutes of the match.[48] Antonio Rigo, the referee of the final, was accused of favouring Barcelona.[48] Regarding the two not awarded penalties, he said "I didn't see a penalty onAmancio, andSerena tripped. He wanted to deceive me bydiving when he entered the penalty area." He also accused the Real Madrid manager of trying to bribe him with a pre-match gift.[48] General Franco presented the trophy to Barcelona with a pitch full of bottles, hence the name.[49][50]
Luís Figo transfer
Luís Figo's transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000 resulted in a hate campaign by some of his former club's fans.
In 2000, Real Madrid's then-presidential candidate,Florentino Pérez, offered Barcelona's vice-captainLuís Figo $2.4 million to sign an agreement binding him to Madrid if he won the elections. If Figo broke the deal, he would have to pay Pérez $30 million in compensation. When his agent confirmed the deal, Figo denied everything, insisting, "I'll stay at Barcelona whether Pérez wins or loses." He accused the presidential candidate of "lying" and "fantasizing". He told Barcelona teammatesLuis Enrique andPep Guardiola he was not leaving and they conveyed the message to the Barcelona squad.[51]
On 9 July,Sport ran an interview in which he said, "I want to send a message of calm to Barcelona's fans, for whom I always have and always will feel great affection. I want to assure them that Luís Figo will, with absolute certainty, be at the Camp Nou on the 24th to start the new season... I've not signed a pre-contract with a presidential candidate at Real Madrid. No. I'm not so mad as to do a thing like that."[51]
Barcelona's new president,Joan Gaspart, called the media and told them, "Today, Figo gave me the impression that he wanted to do two things: get richer and stay at Barça." However, the following day, 24 July, Figo was presented in Madrid and handed his new shirt by Alfredo Di Stéfano. His buyout clause was set at $180 million. Gaspart later admitted, "Figo's move destroyed us."[52]
On his return to Barcelona in a Real Madrid shirt, banners with "Judas", "Scum" and "Mercenary" were hung around the stadium. Thousands of fake 10,000 peseta notes had been printed and emblazoned with his image, were among the missiles of oranges, bottles, cigarette lighters, even a couple of mobile phones were thrown at him.[53] In his third season with Real Madrid, the 2002 Clásico at Camp Nou produced one of the defining images of the rivalry. Figo was taunted throughout; missiles of coins, a knife, a whisky bottle, were raining down from the stands, mostly from areas populated by theBoixos Nois where he had been taking a corner. Among the debris was a pig's head.[54][55]
Recent issues
Barcelona players performing thepasillo at the Santiago Bernabéu in 2008.
During the last decades, the rivalry has been augmented by the modern Spanish tradition of thepasillo, where one team is given the guard of honor by the other team, once the former clinches the La Liga trophy before El Clásico takes place. This has happened on three occasions. First, during El Clásico that took place on 30 April 1988, in which Real Madrid had won the league championship in the previous round; then three years later, when Barcelona won the championship two rounds before El Clásico on 8 June 1991;[56] and most recently on 7 May 2008, when Real Madrid had won the championship.[57] In May 2018, Real Madrid refused to perform thepasillo for Barcelona even though the latter had already wrapped up the championship a round prior to their meeting.[58] Real Madrid's coach at the time,Zinedine Zidane, reasoned that Barcelona also refused to perform it five months earlier, on 23 December 2017, when Real Madrid were theFIFA Club World Cup champions.[59]
The two teams met again in theUEFA Champions Leaguesemi-finals in 2002, with Real winning 2–0 in Barcelona and drawing 1–1 in Madrid, resulting in a 3–1 aggregate win forLos Blancos. The tie was dubbed by Spanish media as the "Match of the Century".[60]
While El Clásico is regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in world football, there have been rare moments when fans have shown praise for a player on the opposing team. In 1980,Laurie Cunningham was the first Real Madrid player to receive applause from Barcelona fans at Camp Nou; after excelling during the match, and with Madrid winning 2–0, Cunningham left the field to a standing ovation from the locals.[61][62] On 26 June 1983, during the second leg of theCopa de la Liga final at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, having dribbled past the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Barcelona starDiego Maradona ran towards an empty goal before stopping just as the Madrid defenderJuan José came sliding in an attempt to block the shot and crashed into the post, before Maradona slotted the ball into the net.[61] The manner of Maradona's goal led to many Madrid fans inside the stadium start applauding.[61][63] In November 2005,Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.[61] After dribbling through the Madrid defence twice to score two goals in a 3–0 win, Madrid fans paid homage to his performance with applause.[64][65] On 21 November 2015,Andrés Iniesta became the third Barcelona player to receive applause from Real Madrid fans while he was substituted during a 4–0 away win, with Iniesta scoring Barça's third. He was already a popular figure throughout Spain for scoring the nation's World Cup-winning goal in 2010.[66]
In 2005,Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player, afterDiego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.
A 2007 survey by theCentro de Investigaciones Sociológicas showed that 32% of the Spanish population supported Real Madrid while 25% supported Barcelona. In third place cameValencia, with 5%.[67] According to an Ikerfel poll in 2011, Barcelona is the most popular team in Spain with 44% of preferences, while Real Madrid is second with 37%.Atlético Madrid, Valencia andAthletic Bilbao complete the top five.[68]
The rivalry intensified in 2011, when Barcelona and Real Madrid were scheduled to meet each other four times in 18 days, including theCopa Del Rey final andUEFA Champions Leaguesemi-finals.[69] Several accusations of unsportsmanlike behaviour from both teams and a war of words erupted throughout the fixtures, which included four red cards.Spain national team coachVicente del Bosque stated that he was "concerned" that due to the rising hatred between the two clubs, that this could cause friction in the Spain team.[70]
A fixture known for its intensity and indiscipline, it has also featuredmemorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mocking the opposition.[7] In October 1999, Real Madrid forwardRaúl silenced 100,000 Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou when he scored an 86th–minute equalizer before he celebrated by putting a finger to his lips as if telling the crowd to be quiet.[7][71] In May 2009, Barcelona captainCarles Puyol kissed his Catalan armband in front of Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu after his 21st–minute headed goal in a 6–2 win.[7] Cristiano Ronaldo twice gestured to the hostile crowd to "calm down" after scoring against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in 2012 and 2016, both being the winning goals in 2–1 wins.[7] In April 2017, in Barcelona's 3–2 win, Messi celebrated his 93rd-minute winner against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu by taking off his Barcelona shirt and holding it up to incensed Real Madrid fans – with his name and number facing them.[7] Later that year, in August, Ronaldo was subbed on during the 3–1 first-leg victory in theSupercopa de España, scored in the 80th minute, and took his shirt off before holding it up to Barça's fans with his name and number facing them. However, he was sent off moments later, having been awarded a second yellow card for simulation.[72]
Until the early 1950s, Real Madrid was not a regular title contender in Spain, having won only two Primera División titles between 1929 and 1953.[73] However, things changed for Real after the arrival ofAlfredo Di Stéfano in 1953,Paco Gento in the same year,Raymond Kopa in 1956, andFerenc Puskás in 1958. Real Madrid's strength increased in this period until the team dominated Spain and Europe, while Barcelona relied on its Hungarian starLászló Kubala andLuis Suárez, who joined in 1955 in addition to the Hungarian playersSándor Kocsis andZoltán Czibor and the BrazilianEvaristo. With the arrival of Kubala and Di Stéfano, Barcelona and Real Madrid became among the most important European clubs in those years, and the players represented the turning point in the history of their teams.[74][75][76]
With Kubala and Di Stéfano, a rivalry was born, but it would still take a long time to become what it is today.[77] This period was characterized by the abundance of matches in different tournaments, as they faced each other in all the tournaments available at the time, especially at the European level, where they met twice in two consecutive seasons. In their period, El Clásico was played 26 times: Real won 13 matches, Barcelona 10 matches, and 3 ended in a draw. Di Stéfano scored 14 and Kubala scored 4 goals in those matches.
The rivalry betweenLionel Messi andCristiano Ronaldo between 2009 and 2018 has been the most competitive in El Clásico history, with both players being their clubs' all-time top scorers. In their period, many records were broken for both clubs; the two players alternated as top scorers in La Liga and the Champions League during most seasons while they were with Real Madrid and Barcelona.[78] During this period, Ronaldo won theEuropean Golden Shoe three times and Messi five times.[79] In addition, Messi won theBallon d'Or five times and Ronaldo four times.[80]
During the nine years they played together in Spain, the two players scored a total of 922 goals, including 38 goals in El Clásico matches, 20 scored by Messi and 18 by Ronaldo. As of 2024, Ronaldo isthe all-time top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, followed by Messi in the second place.[81] In addition, Messi isthe all-time top scorer of La Liga with 474 goals, and Ronaldo is ranked second with 311 goals.[82] Both players contributed to their club's record forthe most points in La Liga history, with 100 points in the2011–12 season for Real Madrid and in the2012–13 season for Barcelona.
The Messi–Ronaldo rivalry was characterized by a lot of goals scored by both players, contributing to many domestic and European titles for both teams. Their clubs were dominant in Europe, as they won six Champions League titles in nine seasons, including five consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2018.[83] In El Clásico matches, Messi has scored 26 goals in his career, which is the record. Ronaldo has scored 18, which is the joint second-most in the fixture's history alongside Di Stéfano. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has a slight advantage in terms of minutes per goal ratio, scoring a goal for every 141 minutes played in El Clásico matches. Only slightly behind is Messi, scoring a goal every 151.54 minutes.[84]
In their period, the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been encapsulated by the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi.[85] Following the star signings ofNeymar andLuis Suárez by Barcelona, andGareth Bale andKarim Benzema by Real Madrid, the rivalry was expanded to a battle of the clubs' attacking trios, nicknamed "BBC" (Bale–Benzema–Cristiano) and "MSN" (Messi–Suárez–Neymar).[86] Ronaldo left Real Madrid forJuventus in 2018, and in the week prior to the first meeting of the teams in the2018–19 La Liga, Messi sustained an arm injury, ruling him out of the match. It would be the first time since 2007 that theClásico had featured neither player, with some in the media describing it as the 'end of an era'.[87][88] Barcelona won the match 5–1.[89]
^Although not recognized by the currentRoyal Spanish Football Federation as an official match, it is still considered a competitive match between Barcelona and Real Madrid by statistics sources[90] and the media.[91]

Stadiums
As of 26 October 2025
Since thefirst match in 1902, official Clásico matches have been held in 18 stadiums, including 3 outside Spain. The following table shows the details of the stadiums that hosted the Clásico.[94] Friendly matches are not included.
The first match in El Clásico's history was played on 13 May 1902 at the old horse racing track in Madrid. The occasion was thesemi-final round of the Copa de la Coronación ("Coronation Cup") in honor ofAlfonso XIII, the first official tournament ever played in Spain.
The home stadium ofAtlético Madrid (1913–1923), where two matches were held to determine the qualification for the Copa del Rey final in 1916. It should not be confused with the Real Madrid stadium at that time ofthe same name.
The home stadium of Atlético Madrid (1923–1936, 1943–1966), which hosted two league matches when Real Madrid temporarily used it as their home stadium in the1946–47 season and the first half of the1947–48 season, while the club was facilitating the construction of theEstadio Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (now Bernabéu Stadium) and the subsequent move there.
Real Madrid's temporary stadium (2020–2021), which the club used due to theCOVID-19 pandemic and to facilitate the ongoing renovations of the Santiago Bernabéu.
The rivalry reflected in El Clásico matches comes about as Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most successful football clubs in Spain. As seen below,Real Madrid leads Barcelona 106 to 102 in terms of official overall trophies. Copa Eva Duarte is not listed as an official title byUEFA, but it is considered as such by theRoyal Spanish Football Federation as it is the direct predecessor of the Supercopa de España.[106] While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, and the Latin Cup is recognised as one of the predecessors of the European Cup, both were not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA does not consider clubs' records in the Fairs Cup nor Latin Cup to be part of theirEuropean record.[107] However,FIFA does view the competitions as a major honour.[108][109] The one-off Ibero-American Cup was later recognised as an official tournament organised byCONMEBOL and the Royal Spanish Football Federation.[110]
